MACHINERY FOR MAKING CROZES FOR CURVED CASK-HEADI-NGS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 610,012, dated August 30, 1898.

Application tiled December 7, 1897. Serial No. 661,039. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J OHANN ANTHON, a subj ect of the King of Prussia, German Emperor, residing at Flensburg,in the Kingdom of Prussia, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machinery for Making Crozes for Curved Cask-Headings; and I hereby declare the following to be a full,clear,

and exact description of the invention, suchv as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

. This invention relates to crozing-machines; and it consists in the novel construction and combination of the parts,hereinafter fully described and claimed,for cutting curved crozes.

In the drawings, Figure l is a side view of the machine, partly in section. Fig. 2 is a plan view of one end portion of the machine, partlyin section and drawn to alarger scale. Fig. Sis a planview, partly in section, showing the preferred means for cuttinga curved croze. Fig. 4 is a similar view to Fig. 3, but shows devices for operating on smaller casks. Fig. 5 is a cross-section, Fig. 6 is a partial longitudinal section, and Fig: 7 is a plan View, showing a modified mechanism for cutting a curved croze.

R is the ring which supports one end of the cask, and E is a liner, Fig. 4, which is used when a small cask is to be crozed in the machine. The ring R is provided with teeth on its periphery and is revolved by a toothed pinion on the shaft N. The ring R is jour` naled in one of the end frames of the machine.

F is a curved pattern carried by the ring R, and S is a roller which is pressed against the pattern F by means of a weight X and a chain which passes over one or more guidesheaves y and is attached to the plate A,which carries the said roller.

B is a base-plate which carries the end frame and is provided with a curved guide G for the plate A to slide on. The guide Gis struck from a center C, which is so arranged, as shown in Fig. 2, that the guide G is substantially parallel with the curved end portion of the barrel, at one side thereof,where the croze is to be cut whenthe cask or barrel is in position in the ring R.

I is a plate which is slidable in guides W' on the plate A crosswise of the cask, andM is a cutter-head slidable on the plate I longitudi nally of the cask.

The cutter fr for cutting the croze is carried by the cutter-head and is provided with means for revolving it of any approved construction. The cutter is fed by hand against the cask to cut the croze, andthe curvature of the croze is controlled by the pattern F, which is shaped appropriately.

Instead of using a pattern F to form the curve of the croze a crank K may be used, as shown in Figs. 5, 6, and 7. The crank K is arranged at the rear of the machine, and it is mounted on a vertical shaft W. The shaft V is driven by beveled toothed wheels O and ahorizontal shaft W. The shaft W' is driven by beveled toothed wheels O from the shaft N, which drives the ring R. The pin of the crank engages with a slot L in the plate A, which slot is arranged radial of the point C, about which the cutter is to oscillate. The toothed wheels are arranged so that the crank revolves twice for each rev0 lution of the cask, and the amount of curvature is adjusted by varying the throw of the crank-pin.

What I claim isl. In a crozing-machine, the combination, with means for holding and revolving a barrel; of a stationary base B arranged at the end of the barrel, a plate A slidable on the said base, guide mechanism constraining the said base to slide on an arc substantially par- Y allel with the curved end portion of the barrel at one side thereof, means forsupporting a cutter from the said plate at the said side of the barrel, and driving devices positively connected with the said means for revolving the barrel and operating to reciprocate the said plate back and forth a prearranged number of 'times during each revolution of the barrel7 and to place the said plate at the end of each revolution of the barrel in the position it occupied at the beginning of the revolution, substantially as set forth. i

2. In a croZing-machine, the combination, with means for holding and revolving a barrel; of a stationary base B arranged at the end of the barrel, a plate A slidable on the said base, guide mechanism constraining the said plate to slide on an arc substantially IOO parallel with the curved end portion of the oiprocates the said plate as the barrel is rebarrel at one side thereof, said plate being volved, substantially as set forth. io provided With a slot arranged at substantially In testimony whereof I have affixed my siga right angle to the said curved side portion nature in presence of two witnesses.
